Netgate is sponsoring an effort to bring pf in FreeBSD to be on par functionality wise with the version in OpenBSD. As we all know, FreeBSD's version is way behind the features and functionality in OpenBSD since quite a long a time. Most updates...

"ALTernate Queuing" basically ways of doing QoS on the packets, so some get out quicker. There is an example I think by Daniel Hartimeir (I may have mucked the name) where he had an asymmetric link (more BW down, less up) and he did something...

What's ALTQ for?

I would say that using Whatsapp as an additional encryption layer over the cell network is probably not the worst thing a random UN diplomat can do. Most definitely better than SMS.

Thank you, blackbird9 https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806970513428.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt Looks like I have to pay $27.75. Well worth it.

"AnyRaid-Z Building upon the initial work for AnyRaid Mirrors, Klara will be expanding the concept to allow using RAID-Z parity to further maximize the usable storage of a set of disks. AnyRaid will allow a collection of disks of various sizes...

I found mutt on gmail too slow in loading mailboxes. That's some time ago, though.

That fuster cluck, yes... I recon you simply have to call him at 3AM and ask him things, as far as the president is concerned.

If that is really the case and can be shown working in practice then then best way forward clearly is to work with the port maintainer to add mariadb as an option in the port. I wouldn't be surprised if there are surprises, though.

Where did you find the JM20 for that price? Sellers on amazon US want a lot more.

US federal government communication is probably prepared to deal with this sort of threat (unless the president just uses his personal cellphone...). Presumably most or almost all UN people coming into NYC have to rely on the cellphone network...

300 SIM servers, those aren't the typical 1U "pizzabox" servers you might be thinking off. The devices in the picture look like one of these: https://www.discoverytelecom.eu/catalog/5683.htm That's a SIM server, there's 8 of them in the...

Hey, I've used FreeBSD for ages. Yet recently I bought a new workstation, AMD 7800 XT and was quite disappointed by the pick as I originally thought drm-61-kmod was just fine. Obviously it was not as I had troubles. Now, 15.0 is coming. I tested...

Granted, telecom equipment is weird. Has its own way of configuring too, looks and feels totally foreign, that's mainly because its based on stuff that predates computers and networking.

It's what you're familiar with, so the association is understandable.

Thanks.

Looks more like the UN was the target. For officials, wouldn't DC be a better place? Also, afair, you don't need such a farm to disrupt the network. Smells more like a "local terrorist group".

Xerox 6515 should be able to print PDF directly (as well as save scan as PDF). In your browser type your printer IP address, log in as a system administrator (user admin, password 1111 or device serial number) then System / PDL Settings / PDF...

Locking a package will also prevent it from being updated. So you'll need to unlock it and do this forced package dance every single time you update. The impact of locking a package is wider than simply preventing modifications to the...

For example: biology/linux-foldingathome This is similar to what you can do for babashka. This port downloads the Linux binary for Folding@Home and installs it. Repackaging (building a FreeBSD pkg from it for distribution, i.e. the FreeBSD...

There are plenty of ports that download and install a pre-built execute, a "port" doesn't necessarily equate to building from source. It's certainly preferred (so you can build a FreeBSD 'native' application), but it's definitely not required.

graphics/zathura-pdf-mupdf is simple and converts using mupdf. With the pdf open, :print will bring up an lpr compatible print dialog. You can pick out the pages you want and in my case I can pass the lpr -Pduplex for double sided printing.

A separate issue that popped up, when exiting from single user mode. Ctrl-Alt F keys stopped working. I ended up having to reboot anyway.

this is specifically about flua, not "FreeBSD scripting" in general. that's why flua is installed in /usr/libexec rather than /usr/bin. the manual page flua(1) mentions this several times: at this point it's unlikely that flua will actually be...

just update the pointer to a hourglass and do your stuff. letting the user clicking random shit when the program is busy is worse :) or display a progress bar that works like this View: https://x.com/i/status/1224958334991654912

What I can tell you, good luck.

Packages are not dynamic by their nature, they are sets of prebuilt binaries and libs, and everything in them needs what they were linked with at the time they were built. If you want to change what package expects, build it from ports, that's...

As I said pkg security/vaultwarden needs libmysqlclient.so.21 as dependency, not libmysqlclient.so that MariaDb provides, and with databases/mysql80-client libmysqlclient.so is simply link to libmysqlclient.so.21. Also, if you check...

Sorry to quote myself but I'm still in my hospital bed with no progress on my side. I appreciate some help with this regards, hoping to get back to my machine soon, thank you.

Thank you for the thorough answer.

Probably won't work, pkg security/vaultwarden needs libmysqlclient.so.21 as dependency, so only option around that is what DtxdF advised about DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql=1011m, and only way to avoid mixing ports and pkgs is to use two pkg repos...

That's a pretty strong take. It's just your opinion or can this be considered the reality of freebsd scripting up to 15.x? Not that I don't believe you, I'm genuinely asking.

Wayback Machine FTW! X.Org on NetBSD - the state of things

you really shouldn't use flua for your own scripts, it's only intended for use by the operating system itself. it might vanish tomorrow with no notice. i do think we should consider providing a public version of Lua though, since we're shipping...

Ha, IDK about DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql=1011m, thanks DtxdF 🙏 In this case, maybe your best option is to use poudriere jail (with changes that DtxdF advised) for building security/vaultwarden, set poudriere repo just for that, make file...

I know, that's exactly the problem I have, but what I was saying is that if the software supports mysql, that basically means it also supports mariadb. Dtxdf even linked how to compile a port with mariadb using the mysql option:

Yes, but if you check MariaDB port Makefile you'll see that it conflicts with MySQL, so you can't have both at the same time on one system, it's one or the other, that's why jail is recemented for this case. CONFLICTS_INSTALL=...

Interesting problem; just checked security/vaultwarden port ad options are OPTIONS_MULTI_DATABASE= MYSQL PGSQL SQLITE And I don't see MariaDB listed in bsd.options.desc.mk, so probably DtxdF is right, use jail.

Use jails.

This reminded me of one time when I had to enlarge and shuffle partitions because new loader.efi was too big for ESP, can't remember was it 10 to 11 or 11 to 12?
